Starlake Hanoi Apartment Management for Foreign Owners

The Building

About Starlake Hanoi

Starlake is the apartment component of the Tay Ho Tay new urban area — a 186-hectare masterplan by THT Development, a Daewoo E&C company, laid out by Korean planners Heerim Architects. For Korean and Japanese tenants in particular, it is one of the most recognisable addresses in Hanoi.

The three completed towers (901, 902, 903) were handed over in 2020 and hold 603 apartments at a low density of six to eight units per floor. The masterplan reserves around 8 hectares for international schools, and Tay Ho Tay is designated as Hanoi's new administrative and diplomatic centre.

This is the most premium building in our portfolio. Rents here sit well above the Hanoi average, which also means tenant expectations on finishing, responsiveness and reporting are higher — the part owners abroad find hardest to deliver alone.

Asking prices on public listings, July 2026 — not transacted rents, and not a quote. USD figures come from expat rental agencies and generally bundle furnishing and management; VND figures come from Vietnamese listing sites and are around a year old. Achieved rent depends on floor, view, furnishing and lease term. Ask us for current availability and a realistic figure for your unit.

How These Apartments Got There

The same sequence we would run for your apartment in Starlake Hanoi.

The apartments above did not arrive rent-ready. Each one went through the same sequence — and that sequence is what we offer an owner who hands us a unit in this building.

First we make it rentable

✓Interior & Furnishing — layout, sourcing, installation and styling
✓Fixed package price agreed in writing before anything is ordered
✓From $4,000 for a one-bedroom, $5,000 for two, $6,000 for three
✓Professional photography on completion, ready to list
✓Nothing bought without your approval

Then we let it and run it

✓Tenant Sourcing — marketed to expat tenants, screened, lease signed. One month’s rent on signing
✓Property Management — rent, bills, repairs, inspections. 4% of annual rent
✓Monthly statement in English, wherever you live
✓Contractors who have already worked in this building
✓Your written approval before any non-urgent spend

Notes for owners in Starlake

Starlake attracts a particular tenant: Korean and Japanese corporate families, senior professionals and diplomats, often placed by their employer with a relocation budget. They tend to sign longer leases and stay — but they expect a landlord who answers quickly and in writing.

That is where an absentee owner usually loses money here. A vacancy at Starlake rent levels costs several times what it does in a mid-market building, and a slow reply to a maintenance request in a corporate lease can escalate fast. We handle tenant communication in English, keep the paperwork tidy for company-paid leases, and report income and expenses monthly.

Phase 2 of Starlake, marketed as “The Prime” and positioned as a Korean-style enclave, is under construction on the K8 plot with handover indicated for 2027. If you are buying there rather than in the completed towers, the management picture is different — talk to us before you commit.
